Install the Ubuntu community wallpapers from Karmic to Saucy in Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-wallpapers-karmic ubuntu-wallpapers-lucid ubuntu-wallpapers-maverick ubuntu-wallpapers-natty ubuntu-wallpapers-oneiric ubuntu-wallpapers-precise ubuntu-wallpapers-quantal ubuntu-wallpapers-raring ubuntu-wallpapers-saucy

• change wallpapers automatically / manually (optionally, this can be done via keyboard shortcuts);
• multi-monitor support - for instance, it can span a single wallpaper over multiple monitors;
• synchronize wallpaper between workstations;
• configurable wallpaper change interval / time of day;
• supports special effects for the wallpapers (blur, sharpen, desaturate, glow and so on);
• several resizing methods and background filling;
• available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X;
• should work with most Linux desktop environments: KDE 3/4, GNOME / GNOME 3 (includes Unity), Xfce, LXDE, Enlightenment, Openbox, Fluxbox, IceWM, Blackbox, WindowMaker and FVWM (it doesn't support Cinnamon and MATE though).

• added option to start SyncWall automatically on Linux;
• direct synchronization of wallpapers across network (sharing the same file is not used any more);
• display name of current wallpaper in window header;
• change layout for better handling on small screens (laptops);
• global keyboard shortcuts to change wallpaper, open main interface or change image offset (you enable these in the SyncWall preferences);
• images can now be rated - images with higher rating are displayed more often;
• addition of a simple database backend for image data to speed up display;
• addition of image alignment defined graphically by user (in order to display best part of images);
• addition of an horizontal alignment parameter;
• addition of several resampling methods;
• updated app icons;
• many bug fixes (for instance, the invisible tooltips bug should be fixed, among many others).

Please note that SyncWall tries to automatically detect the desktop environment, but this can fail sometimes. If the wallpaper doesn't change, manually select the desktop environment in the SyncWall Preferences, on the Startup tab. For Unity, select GNOME 3 as the DE.

To span a single wallpaper across multiple monitors, in SyncWall select Preferences > Display Parameters and on the "Basic" tab, check the "Multi monitor support" box, then in the "Multi monitor" display drop-down, select "Extend image (one file for all monitors)":
